Loess Landslides–Peculiarities of Deformation Mechanism

AbstractLoess on the Earth occupies an area of more than 13 million km2. The greatest spread of loess is in Europe and Asia (mainly south of 62°N), where vast areas are composed of loess from the surface, the thickness of which varies in Europe from a few meters to 20–30 m, and in the Caucasus, in intermountain hollows of Central Asia, China-from 50–60

Strong Ground Motion Characteristics of the Saturated Loess Site

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Significant differences exist in the ground response of saturated and unsaturated deposits to earthquakes, but few relevant studies exist on strong ground motion in saturated loess. We have selected three loess sites that are highly affected by earthquake‐induced liquefaction hazards, analyzed the nonlinear characteristics of the ground motion response

Mechanical characteristics of loess under seepage shear

工程科学学报, 2018
In the recent years, an increasing number of loess landslides were triggered due to extreme climate. The initiation of loess landslides was related to water, including surface water and groundwater, landform, geologic structure, and other factors.

Tributary‐Trunk Sedimentary Links in an Inter‐Dam River Reach: Lessons From Low‐Altitude High‐Gradient Forested Streams, the Dyje River (Czechia‐Austria)

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 2157-2176, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study employs two measures of connectivity, valley confinement index (VCI) and effective catchment area (ECA), combined with a field survey of active sediment sources (ASS) to unravel the tributary‐trunk sedimentary links in the 42.5 km long inter‐dam reach of the Dyje River, Czech‐Austrian border.

Failure mechanism of a snowmelt-related loess landslide group in Ten-zan, China

Geoenvironmental Disasters
Background In recent years landslides are occurring more frequently in seasonally frozen ground regions. Compared to non-seasonally frozen ground regions, whether the physical processes of snowmelt and soil freeze-thaw affect landslides requires further ...

Effect of density and total weight on flow depth, velocity, and stresses in loess debris flows [PDF]

, 2018
Debris flows that involve loess material produce important damage around the world. However, the kinematics of such processes are poorly understood. To better understand these kinematics, we used a flume to measure the kinematics of debris flows with ...

Analytical Solution for One‐Dimensional Steady‐ and Transient‐State Flow in Vertical Heterogeneous Unsaturated Soils

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Exact solutions for one‐dimensional steady‐state and transient liquid flow toward a water table in heterogeneous unsaturated soils are critical in predicting saturation profiles in several real‐world applications including interpretation of climate change effects on the subsurface and impacts on slope stability.

Understanding International Cooperation Potential in Coastal Multiple Hazards Governance Through Risk Similarity

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Multiple hazard risks (MHRs) in coastal zones will continue to increase due to climate change and rising sea levels. These disproportionate impacts create shared challenges that require cross‐border mitigation efforts. However, understanding how coastal areas exhibit common risk patterns and how such patterns can inform risk‐based cooperation ...
